Profile of the Kiritimati Urban Council (KUC) written

The Kiritimati Urban Council Profile is being produced for publication, thanks to financial support from the CLGF Pacific office in Suva.

The Executive Officer of KiLGA, Rikiaua Takeke, spent a week on Kiritimati from 21-30 January, collecting information from the Council staff and files and other sources and taking photographs across the island as well.

This is part of the Profiling Projects carried out for all Kiribati Councils that is aimed at compiling relevant information on each of the 23 Councils to be published in hard copies and posted on the KiLGA’s website at www.kilga.org.ki for the use of development partners and other interested stakeholders. The involvement and status of women in the Council was also covered in the Profile.

The KUC staff, especially the Mayor, Cr. Mikarite Temariti, were cooperative and supportive and deserve a sincere vote of thanks.

Some key information collected about the Council are given in table below:-
